The Sopranos actress Drea de Matteo credits OnlyFans with saving her from financial ruin and enabling her to launch a new business venture
Drea de Matteo, renowned for her role as Adriana La Cerva in the iconic series “The Sopranos,” has openly expressed her gratitude towards OnlyFans, stating that the platform “saved her life” by allowing her to pay off her mortgage. At 52, de Matteo made the decision to join the adult subscription service last year, despite initial hesitations, after losing acting opportunities due to her refusal to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
The actress found herself in a dire financial situation, with a mere $10 in her bank account and unable to cover the substantial amount owed to collectors. In an interview with the DailyMail, de Matteo shared, “OnlyFans saved my life, 100 percent. It saved my home of many years that was very important to us. And beyond all that, it has given me enough money to start up and finance ULTRAFREE.”

However, her venture into OnlyFans proved to be lucrative, allowing her to quickly earn significant income.
Initially apprehensive about the platform, de Matteo has grown to appreciate and enjoy posting on OnlyFans. She takes pride in the photos shared, which are occasionally retouched but also showcased in real-time during live photoshoots for fans to witness. Embracing a fuller figure for the shoots, de Matteo commented, “For the most part, I look good, and the best part about it is I get to be heavier. I don’t look good in the pictures if I’m skinny. Before a photoshoot, I get to eat and eat. I get to bulk up to look better.”
Drea de Matteo’s candid revelation highlights the unexpected ways in which OnlyFans has become a financial lifeline for individuals, even those with established careers in the entertainment industry.
